I didn’t think Man Utd gave him much of a chance at the time, if I recall correctly, but 142 appearances isn’t too bad. 

 

Fergie loved him. Gave him plenty of minutes. 

 

Moyes sold him straight away.

He was, he joined Arsenal when he was 21 I think. I didn’t mean specifically academy players just their younger players in general. Diaby is another good example.

Fair enough, he was 23 when he moved though not 21 just checked

I hope he goes somewhere that's not a complete joke of a competition - the MLS would be nice indeed, but my bet is the Saudis, the money is way too silly to refuse.

 

Anyway, I know he has a (deserved) reputation to be a bit of a tosser, but he was one of the best holding midfielders of his time, and a key to our success. He's still an incredibly smart player that can be very useful in a less demanding league.

Busquets has been past it at the highest level for some years. Slyly been holding Spain and Barca back.

Agree tbh. Don't think Barca get all those embarrassing beatings in Europe with a more mobile player there

I don't think it's solely on him. The issue was playing too many unathletic players in the defensive unit. If we'd surrounded Busquets with pace we'd been fine - instead we played him with Piqué and Lenglet.

Aye. I was thinking about our options and I think if prefer another all rounder such as Thuram or Kone to replace Longstaff, rather than am outright number six like Ugarte.

 

Either would work like.

Not think we go for both? As in an out and out number 6 and then Longstaff replacement/competition?

Ugarte to Liverpool getting a bit of traction.

 


Welcome to him as far as I’m concerned. I fully expect him to make me look stupid but I don’t think he’s very good at all.

 

I’d be annoyed if they got Lavia though, think he’d be perfect for us.

Aye, I keep forgetting we're in Europe, so we'll likely need more options in there. I can see one being a more marquee name and another being one for the future, like that lad from Bristol City.

Would be surprised if Liverpool were to get Lavia alongside Mac Allister and Ugarte, particularly are they seem set on moving Trent central as well. Not sure we will get Lavia regardless mind, we have yet to be strongly linked (not that the media knows that much).

Aye the lack of Lavia links are annoying. He's perfect for us. Decent fee, smallish wages, massive potential.
